Take a break from the eclectic capital on one of our day trips from Warsaw to Auschwitz! See the notorious Nazi concentration camp where so many people died as part of the racial mass extermination plan. The one-day tour of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum will bring the events that occurred there closer to you.

On the Auschwitz 1 day tour from Warsaw you will see the grim fate of the prisoners at this death camp. Walk under the „Arbeit Macht Frei” sign and transport yourself to a different era as you learn about where the band played, where food was given out, and where the bunks that housed iconic prisoners were located. Look at the personal belongings and everyday objects that prisoners used throughout their time at Auschwitz, or left with guards upon entrance - it is all that is left today. Learn about the medical tests, the gas chambers, and where the lifeless bodies were burned at the crematorium. See the original documents that were kept for every prisoner. Go to the watchtower and look out at the death camp from above. Join us on this humbling and evocative tour as you experience it yourself. As Winston Churchill once said “those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”

Your Auschwitz tour from Warsaw includes a museum-licensed English speaking tour guide, transportation, extra time and more. The tour will last about three and a half hours. The journey from Warsaw to Auschwitz will last about 4h 30m each way.

Entrance gate "Arbeit macht frei"

See the notorious entrance that gave a false hope to prisoners as they returned to their barracks after gruelling work day in, day out.

Railway trucks

50 people per car, but these guidelines were often disregarded and approximately 150 people with their belongings were forced into a single car.

Personal belongings

Only physical objects remain after the thousands of prisoners were brutally murdered. Many of the remains are on display at the museum. Some even call it the most evocative portion of the visit.

The van picked us up promptly at the appointed time...It's very hard to comment on the tour - a very emotional one, but I have to say our guide was brilliant...no question was too hard to answer and as we had around 9 in our group, you didn't feel left out. Recommend this tour to anyone!!
